Digital Court Reporting: Welcome it or fight it?

I take issue with the fact that it is even called court reporting at all, but that's besides the point.  For purposes of this post I will call it ER, because that's really what it is; recording and not reporting.  The point of this post is, should the voice and steno community support this "new" method of creating a transcript?  I have lots to say on the ER subject, but I will keep this issue narrow.  ER is here.  The business people who have sold this method to government and the private sector have succeeded in spreading it.  It is here.  On the other hand, ethical professionals who have been in this business long enough know that the pitfalls of ER go against everything the verbatim transcript stands for.  Without getting into each and every pitfall of ER and comparing it against the tried and true methods of voice, steno and even penned writing, should ER be accepted or should it continue to be fought?  Fighting ER (or anything for that matter) creates chaos, but accepting it places a seal of approval on ER from tried and true professionals that have proven steadfast for decades. Conundrum:  How does the verbatim court reporting community co-exist with this inferior method without accepting it and, in essence, placing a "seal of approval" on it?
